Call of Duty (video game)

Have you played Call of Duty?
Did you play it at release (almost 20 years ago)?
When was the last time you played it?
As a first-person shooter, Call of Duty places the player in control of an infantry soldier who makes use of various authentic World War II firearms in combat. Each mission features a series of objectives that are marked on the heads-up display's compass; the player must complete all objectives to advance to the next mission. The player can save and load at any time, rather than the checkpoint system utilized in later Call of Duty games.

The player has two primary weapon slots, a handgun slot, and can carry up to ten grenades. Weapons may be exchanged with those found on the battlefield dropped by dead soldiers. Unlike later Call of Duty games, the first allows the player to toggle between different firing modes (single shot or automatic fire). Call of Duty was one of the early first-person shooters to feature iron sights in game play; by pressing the corresponding key the player aims down the gun's actual sights for increased accuracy. In addition to weapons carried by the player, mounted machine guns and other fixed weapon emplacements are controllable by the player.

The game uses a standard health points system, with a limited amount of health reflected by a health bar. Medkits scattered throughout the levels or dropped by some foes are used to restore health when the player is injured.

I think I played it extremely briefly years after its release. The first one I really played was Modern Warfare, which was good, but then MW2 and World at War blew those away that came before them.

Never played it, or the direct sequel. I did play the X360 version of COD2, which I'm pretty sure is different from 'COD2: The Big Red One'. Also played COD3, then made it a couple levels into COD4 before running out of steam.
